I don't know about you, but I get a little weary of
hearing the word "narrow" used as a slur against preachers who adhere
to the Bible in their preaching. Sure, they are "narrow", but so are
factory workers, surgeons, druggists and teachers.

The factory worker is so "narrow" that he uses
micrometers and measures to the thousandth of an inch the bores and pistons of
engines, electronic components and balancing wheels in timepieces.

The surgeon is so "narrow" that he insists on
ultra-technical laboratory analysis, meticulously sterilized instruments of
special design. Why, he is so picky narrow that he makes his assistants wear
masks over their faces!

The druggist is so "narrow" that he just has to
have a prescription before he will let you have certain drugs. He says he has
to be narrow because government regulations are narrow, and even thinks it is
for good!

As you think about it, it's a blessing that somebody is
narrow-minded. And however much we need to be "narrow" about vital
material matters, we must be infinitely more careful and exact about spiritual
laws. God will not be mocked. ------------ via Gospel Digest
